NINETEEN CHILDREN.

A reporter on the San Francisco
Examiner gives the following ac-
count of the family ofCharles Gay,
a Frenchman, who will be remem-
bered by not few of our citizens.
Gay, now residing at San Francis
co, used to live at Fort Worth.
While on his long walk as describ-
d below, he went through this
to wn and stopped for some hours
at the old Commercial hotel, rest
ing and bathing his feet. The ac-
count says:
Mr.. Charles Gay was found pre-
siding over a cigar store. In con-
versation he proved to be an intel
ligent man of A years of age, who
looked rather old for his years.
He was married, he said, in 1868, at
Galveston, Tex, when he was 2l
years old and his wife II. Their
first child was a girl, and she was
Lorn in 1865, but only lived tw
years. After that children came
along with astonishing rapidity,
until now, after having been mar
ried twenty-three years, they have
been the proud and happy parents
ofnineteen children.
In 1874, while residing in Shreve-
port, La. they lost three of their
children by yellow fever. The
next year they removed to Fort
Worth, Tex. The children still
kept coming along, until three
years ago their nineteenth child
was born. John p. Smith, Mayor
Of Fort Worth b, made the family
a present of four acres of land, and,
upon the occasion Of the presenta-
tion, said that it was worth the
price of the land TO have it to say
that Texas was the banner
State in helping to swell the popu-
lation of our glorious country.
After the birth Of the youngest
child, Mr.. Gay started TO walk
from st. Louis to Fort Worth on a
wager of $500. He was allowed
fifteen days in which to complete
the distance, and upon the conclu-
sion OF the trip had one day to
spare.
= The childrn's names, in order of
their birth, are: Mary, Charlie,
Willie, John, Albert, James, Lilly,
Lizzie, Julia, Mollie, Alice, Vollie,
Willie, Volney, Lizzie, Charlie,
Joseph and Daisy. One was ra-
ther delicate when born, and only
lived few days, so it was given
no name. The children are
bright, happy and rosy lot and Mr.
Gay says that although he is at
present in rather straitened cir
cumstances, il would take q very
large sum to purchase any one Of
them. Gay was in hopes of in
creasing the record until i'll health
compelled him to leave the State.

Need Of Q Sure Corn Cure"

they cur or not, the good remedies, If

swords Of the japanese.

With all its boosted excellence in manu-
features the western world has still some
thing to learn from the east. Neither
Sheffield nor Birmingham, with all their
skill, are able to turf out a sword blade
which can begin to compare with the
wonderful sabers of Japan. For iineness
Of temper and kcenness Of edge they are
unequale1 in the modern world, and can
scarcely be matched by the blades for
merly forged In Damascus and Toledo.
A common feat for a Japanese soldier is
10 cut a pig in two at a single blow: and
/ have seen bars of lead, and even of iron,
divided by these weapons without anotch
or imperfcction being visible on the blade.
While not possessing the marvellous dex-
terity Of the Sikh swordsman, the Japan
csc would be most formidable adversaries
In hand-to-hand fighting.
On the occasion of the murder Of Rich
ardson and his party, q fate which, by
the way, they brought on themselves, a
a horses hind leg was completely severed
from the body by a stroke from one of
the terrible two-handed swords. Asword
Of superior excellence is preserved as an
heirloom in the Sstsuma family, and with
this blade | have seen a leaf floating on
the stream cut in two by merely being al
lowed to drift against the edge. The
japanese understand the tempering of
sword blades better than any other people,
and all the efforts made by the British
government a short time ago to produce
as fine an article failed utterly.-Tokio

Nobody who is acquainted with the
progress Of scientific thinking in every

course Of the last two centuries, will be
disposed TO deny that immense provinces

will be witnesses Of a vastly greater an

gion Of the physiology Of the nervous

yzing the relations between material and

JOHN SwISToN's paper, q leading
labor organ published In New York,
makes a strong argument against the
folly Of dragging religion into the
labo question, which has been done
by Henry George. Swinton recognizes
that questions Of religion should lie al
lowed to play no part in the contrc-
versy nov going on, having for Its OBJ
ject the liberation Of American labor
from the thraldom OF ~cspitslistic OPP

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

The old order passes giving place to
the new. and whatever was admirable
or lovsble in the old disappears as
wholly a. whatever was unsatisfying
or Objectionable. Each age must deal
with Its own, leaving to poets the
melancholy pleasant province Of ex-
alting the good old days and decrying
the evils Of the present. So among
the things Of the past that may be la
mented, but are as irretrievably gone
as slavery or villeinsge, is the system
Of industrial apprenticeship. II had
its faults; but left no substitute for its
virtues until recently there Is hope for
plan which may give US the advan-
tages OF the past without its cores
ponding drawbacks. This plan |, the
establishment Of training schools for
industrial education, alongside Of and
connected with u public schools.
W. hope the system may be fully
tried and tested. In its ~inceptive
state we find nothing but good to
speak Of IL. When adopted aud fairly
in operation we think its merits would
become patent TO all. 1t would place
intelligence and manual occupation
upon the same plane Of equality. Ii
would give our youth all the benefits
that the antiquated apprenticeship
system conferred, while it would be
absolutely free from all the hardships
and disadvantages that disflgured the
old order Of things. There would be a
liberation from the system Of a fixed
term of service, and there would grow
bot1 an independence OF sentiment
and q strength of manhood that would
very much raise the standard Of the
workingmen. Moreover, as has been
pertinently observed elsewhere, this
system, which would be an intelli-
gent apprenticeship in its highest
form, would secure q closer and more
amicable relation between employers
and employees. IL would ensure in
most cases perfect and cordial har-
mony between them. Whenever con-
ferences were required they would be
sensible ones. The necessity for
strikes and the possibility Of made
quate wages would be greatly modi-
fed. The workmen in such case
would also be the master. In a
phrase, looking at the matter sensibly
and dispassionately, the establishment
OF schools In which boys land II needs
be, girls can develop their abilities
and talents and 1T themselves to enter
the battle Of life as qualified, prof
cient and intelligent workmen, 10
seen to be the great want Of the age
